What is the PSC Action Team?

Get Involved - Volunteer Events to Become Active in your Community!

We often hear:
“I want to do something!”
“How can I get involved?”

Many people want to do something to make a difference but do not know where to start - here is your chance. From Sept 2006, PSC will coordinate monthly volunteer days for people who want to get involved and get their hands dirty.

Goals
  • Give PSC supporters the chance to meet with NGO/NPOs and get directly involved.
  • Hands-on volunteer opportunity coupled with organization introduction.
  • Create new community links and opportunities for local involvement.
Details
  • Each event will take anywhere from 4- 8 hours depending on the type of event.
  • Before the start of the event there will be a 1-hour introduction to the nonprofit NGO and their work
  • Hands on volunteer work will take 3 to 6 hours.
  • Work will be followed by a 30-45 min discussion session.

Participation fees:
  • 1000-8,000yen (Depending on the type of event.)
  • Participants pay their own way to the venue – PSC will provide directions.
  • Fees go towards PSC costs – including volunteer insurance, PR and event materials
  • Projects are coordinated on a volunteer basis.
* Your ideas and efforts are both welcome and necessary to get these events off the ground!!!
